Hello to everyone.
Its with a certain amount of sadness that i announce the partnership beween myself and Nicksta has encountered a slight snag so to speak.
Over the last 2 years i have had an awesome sponsorship deal with Canbrace but that has now come to an end due to buisness reasons that were out of the control of my friend Danny Cancian (ex CEO & founder ) .
He now has no association with Canbrace so thats the end of that.
I came back to racing about 5 years ago and the biggest thing to assist me was a deal i struck with SHOWER BUDDY shower chairs,( also owned by Danny )
I was lucky to get a deal that assisted with my racing costs and gave great returns to the company for the cost laid out.
I am very happy to announce that the sponsored ride announced late last year and won by Nicki Smith (Nicksta) has not died .
This was a worry for myself and Dianne as the future was looking great for both the team and Nicki.
As it transpires its just a name change and all ahead full......
Yes Its now TEAM SHOWER BUDDY so now the "soap on a rope " & Team Showercap " jokes can start all over again lol. At least Nicki will look better in the shower than i would . ( for the sponsors profile of course ).
I want to take the chance here to thank Danny and his old team at Canbrace for the help and encorougment they have given me and the faith they immediatly put into Nicki when the idea of her riding was mooted.
Finally , Thanks to all of you out there that supported the concept behind the sponsored ride and the level of confidence you have all shown towards Nicki and her sporting desires within our sport. Roll on VMCC 2008 and watch out for the new livery on the bike.
Thanks and stay safe all of you
